From the papers
The Independent (Tim Glover)
9 May 1994
It was worth all the work I've put in. I was always in control. I didn't play very special but I was never in danger of a bogey at any hole. Consistency made me win.

I was trying to shoot 65, but here you're in the lap of the greens.

It was just like the old days.
